BOGOTÁ, Colombia (AP) — A dispute over deportation flights from the United States to Colombia entered its second day on Monday, with the U.S. backing down on a threat to impose steep tariffs on Colombian goods after the South American nation agreed to accept flights of deported migrants from the U.S.

Colombia welcomed its first flights of deported illegal immigrants with its president heralding their return and insisting they are not criminals.

Colombia’s president tussled by tweet with President Donald Trump this weekend, pulling back from the cusp of a trade war after the White House insisted the South American nation accept deportees as part of Trump’s hardline immigration push.
